F.D.I.P. Grant Programs
Introduction
FDIP Grants - Fiscal Year 2008
The Faculty Development Initiative Program (FDIP) provides significant financial and instructional assistance to UH faculty engaged in innovative teaching with technology. The FDIP program is administered through Educational Technology and University Outreach (ETUO) for the office of the Executive Associate Vice President for Academic and Faculty Affairs. Over $350,000 was awarded to faculty in FY 2007.
Three Award Tracks
This year (Fiscal Year 2008) there are three tracks of award submissions. FDIP A and FDIP B categories are intended to focus on innovation and enhancement of courses being delivered utilizing technology. FDIP A and B projects should conclude no later than August 2009.
A new award is being added and is referred to as the FDIP Technology and Retention Research (TRR) award. This award has been created to offer an incentive for a faculty team to integrate technology into the teaching/learning environment for the purpose of improving student retention. The TRR team will be expected to develop a rigorous assessment plan that can form the basis for a significant research product. The TRR award will span a two year start to finish execution time. This award will be particularly competitive as only one project will be funded.
